Over the years we have seen plenty of Dalek costumes. All different kinds. And while most are great, they are far from complete. Sure, they have the eyestalk, those bumps all over the body, a bumper at the base and the required plunger arm, but they are missing something very important – the actual mutant lifeform on the inside.

Well, this one is complete. Costume Works reader Michelle has made the ultimate Dalek costume for her daughter and she is all about the finer details. It not only has a Dalek body inside, but that body is all gross and shriveled, complete with a door to show it off.

The girl inside is also wearing a red dress. Is that you Clara Oswald? Everyone just send her your candy now and turn your lights off this Halloween. It’s all over. It doesn’t get better than this.

This set of  bookends takes me back to the classic era of Doctor Who. I mean, there is a large tentacle monster, the TARDIS, a bunch of pipes and some barrels, all in a creepy castle-like room. This is like having an instant adventure on your shelf, holding up your collection of Doctor Who books.

There is good news and bad news regarding these bookends however. The bad news is that awesome as they are, these particular handmade bookends have been sold, but the good news is that its creator – Theophilus Saxe’s Emporium will make pretty much anything you want so if you ask, they could probably make another one for you.

If you’re a fan of the BBC science-fiction series Doctor Who you probably know that the series has been on the air for 50 years. That’s a long time for any television show to be on the air and I imagine much of the success comes from the premise in the series allowing the actor who plays the Doctor to be replaced on a whim. If viewers find the current Doctor boring, you simply kill him off and replace him.

I mentioned not long ago that the BBC had found some very early episodes from the franchise that were believed to have been lost and planned to show those episodes again. While we wait for those episodes, BBC will be airing a special 75 min. long episode called The Day of the Doctor to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the show. That episode is set to air on November 23 and in anticipation the BBC has released a teaser trailer.

Before you get too excited, you need to be aware that the teaser trailer has no footage at all from the special anniversary episode. Rather, the teaser shows every actor that has ever played Doctor Who all the way back to the beginning of the series. The trailer is also the first time that original Timelord William Hartnell has ever been seen in high-definition and color.

If you happen to have a flair for words, and love to pen down a prose or two of your own from time to time as inspiration strikes, it might bode you well as a Doctor Who fan to pick up this $79.99 Limited Edition Deluxe Doctor Who River Song’s TARDIS Journal. Yes sir, it might sound out of whack to pay so much money for a regular journal, but in return, you end up with a limited edition, full size replica of River Song’s journal, where it will boast of an embossed, leather-look cover.

Open up the cover, and you will find a cool 440 textured and aged-looking blank pages that simply cannot wait for you to fill it up with ideas of your own. Assuming you end up in a Halloween party, you might want to go as a Doctor Who character, where this TARDIS covered journal would be ideal to help complement a River Song costume. I have got to say, the embossed cover of leather-look material does have a ring of class to it. Do bear in mind that the Limited Edition Deluxe Doctor Who River Song’s TARDIS Journal happens to be a convention exclusive, so as a fully licensed Doctor Who collectible, you might want to move fast before it runs out of stock!

We’ve seen the Time Lords many times throughout countless Doctor Who episodes. However we know very little about their culture. What do they like to do for fun? What kind of music do they like? Do Time Lords play the ukulele? Who knows? I do know that if you play this TARDIS ukulele, it should strike a chord with you.

While the body of the uke is clearly the Doctor’s TARDIS, I love how they also snuck the Doctor Who logo into the head stock. It is from Etsy seller celentanowoodworks who makes each one to order. In fact, they will honor any request no matter how weird it is. Just tell them and they will build it – assuming it’s a ukulele, that is.

The TARDIS uke will cost you $700(USD). Sure, that’s a lot of dough, but you will have the geekiest ukulele around. Except maybe this one. Or this one.
